Up for auction is my 1988 VW Vanagon GL, water cooled 2.1L that was rebuilt by the previous owner who was a VW collector. It has factory ac, however it does not blow cold, I am guessing it needs freon, but everything is there and looks to be in good shape.
It is in excellent shape, the paint shines like new and the body is very straight, does not appear to have had any bodywork, there is no rust whatsoever, and has been garage kept.
The interior is very clean, looks almost new, it has custom replacement deep pile carpet along with custom floor mats that are a very nice touch.
It has an automatic transmission that shifts as it should and despite the low power output of these engines, it cruises down the road effortlessly at 60-65mph and gets reasonable fuel mileage.
There is a new Pioneer CD player that accepts a USB or plug in Ipod, it also has two amplifiers with front and back aftermarket speakers with subwoofer box. It looks like it was professionally installed and sounds very nice!
I am not really into loud music, I don't even listen to CD's but it's very loud and clear and was already installed in the van when I got it.
It has aftermarket VW wheels with like new tires that really bring out the look of the van!
The van is driven daily and has recent PA Inspection.
I drive it to work everyday and get a lot of attention! It is very reliable and recently took it on a long fishing trip with my family. As you can tell by the car seat, it is a very comfortable family vehicle that is a classic!
Ok, let's get to the issues I am aware of that could use attention and should be expected with any vehicle of this vintage, I haven't fixed any of them because they don't bother me and adds to the character of the vehicle.
Known Minor Issues~
The neutral safety switch is goofy. You basically have to push the automatic shifter forward slightly to start or put it in neutral. Not a big deal, adjustment maybe?
The AC does not blow cold (Open all the windows and your fine! Even during recent 90 degree weather in Philly).
There is a slight exhaust leak that makes it sound like the old flat four air cooled VW vans, I like the way it sounds.
The Temperature gauge is not accurate and has never read correctly, it has a red light that blinks and goes up but the engine does not overheat or have any issues. I did a quick Google search and it seems to be a common problem.
It has a new temp sensor and water pump that was installed right before I got the van, it was a concern when I first bought the van, but the previous owner assured me it was not a problem and have not had an issue even after extended highway trips and every day driving.
So if your looking for a nice vintage family van that will most likely continue to appreciate in value, take a good look at the pics and bid with confidence!
I would like this transaction to go as smooth as possible, please ask any and all questions before you bid, I am a used car dealer and my feedback score is 100% and speaks for itself. I would like to keep it that way.
You are purchasing a used vehicle that does not come with a warranty and should be considered AS-IS where is. You are welcome to have your mechanic come take a look at it on your behalf before bidding.
A $500 non-refundable deposit is due immediately at the end of the auction via PayPal and I will allow 7 days to pick up the vehicle with the balance due in cash only.
Again please check out the pics and ask any and all questions before bidding. If you have a zero or very low feedback score please email me before bidding.
I prefer to respond to all questions concerning the vehicle via email which I will then add to the listing to eliminate answering the same question over and over.
Thanks and good luck bidding!
P.S. the mileage will be more than what is listed since I am still driving the van to work every day.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
